Share It Sunday Blog Hop / Stamping With Melva

Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Sunday, 27 February 2022

It's time for another Share It Sunday Blog Hop! We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world and we're sharing our projects with you as part of this blog hop. There is no theme for our blog hop today.

I created this Double Gatefold Card for a recent swap I was participating in and used the Stampin' Up!® Oceanfront Stamp Set and On the Horizon Bundle. These products coordinate beautifully and it was fun to create a pretty seaside scene. Check it out!

Instructions

Cut Thick Basic White card stock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8". Fold on score lines to form card base.
Cut 2 pieces of Pool Party 2" x 5 3/8"
Adhere to the 2 front flaps.
Cut Basic White card stock 3 3/4" x 5 1/4"
Stamp scene using Pool Party, Soft Seafoam and Crumb Cake ink
Stamp plants using Old Olive and Crumb Cake ink
Stamp birds using Misty Moonlight ink
Cut the stamped card stock in half to form 2 pieces that are 1 7/8" x 5 1/4"
Adhere one piece to each flap.
Cut Layering Vellum 1" x 11" and wrap around card base to form belly band - don't wrap too tightly as this needs to be taken off to open the card. Adhere closed and trim off excess.
Cut 2 gate pieces from Crumb Cake card stock
Adhere to belly band so that one piece is on the left flap and one piece is on the right flap.
Stamp sentiment using Pool Party ink on a scrap of Pool Party card stock
Cut out using Paper Snips
Adhere to Belly Band
Adhere Pebbles

You can find all of the supplies for this card in my Online Store.
